My mother was just given the most thorough neurological exam I have ever seen - and that includes all of my medical school classes and all of my neurology rotations. Not only was Dr. Hamer able to correctly identify the exact nerve that was causing my mothers issues, but he was able to explain the cause and treatment options in a way that my mother could understand completely. He even ordered an MRI to rule out other options. I have never been so impressed with a physician!

If not for Dr Hamer I probably would not be here today. After several Drs saying nothing was wrong I was then rushed to hospital where dr Hamer came in and Found out I had a brain aneurysm within couple of hours. Best Dr I have ever had.

Dr Hamar ALWAYS made me wait in wait room for more than 1 hour pass my appt time. Never allowed me to express my issues and he talked too much like if he know everything about me. He didn't care about my allergies to medicines. His office always so rude to me on the phone or made "promises" to call back even when they NEVER will. NEVER GO BACK THERE!

Dr. Hamer is fantastic !!! He saved my life after seeing neurologist for 30 yrs in Ar. ! They could never control condition because for 30 yrs they were giving me sulpher drugs and he had tried two ,had bad reactions so he put me in hospital and 3 days later he had it figured out ! I was allergic to sulpher !! Wonderful personality , really cares about his patients ! Could no longer get down there so had to go back to Ar. doctors .But they did keep me on the meds he put me on!Wish he was here!

Starting with Dr. Hamer’s staff clear up to Dr. Hamer, all employees have shown extreme kindness and professionalism. I have always liked how Dr. Hamer personally takes his patients’ blood pressue, and with that wonderful, kind smile sets you at ease. He is not the type of doctor that rushes his patients in and out like a herd of cattle going to the market.
